Position Snapshot Salary or Day rate (full-time hours)6 crew total (4 core + 2 fishing guides)Sustainable fishing focusA state-of-the-art 25m expedition motor yacht is on the search for an experienced captain / engineer for their program operating out of Port Douglas.
The vessel has a sustainable fishing focus and is used for both private and charter use, with some extended trips away.
Days in lieu accrued for longer trips with additional downtime when back in dock.
Run with 4 core crew (Captain/Engineer, Chef, Stew & Deck) + 2 fishing guides who operate center console fishing day boats, with the 25m acting as a mothership.
While the vessel has a sustainable fishing focus (top water & salt water fly), fishing skills are not essential for the captain as the expertise is made up elsewhere within the program.
The owner is flexible if the captain works full-time on a day rate or on salary.
The ideal captain should have drive time on vessels of similar size, experience around the inner & outer reef, good vessel handling skills, strong crew management skills, and ideally be able to source their own accommodation ashore when the vessel isn't cruising.
The captain should hold a minimum of a Master 5 / MED 2 to meet the manning requirement.
